Tony Ciccone

Picture editor Tony Ciccone began his professional career as an actor in television and film before focusing on a career behind the camera. Born in 1960 in New York City, the son of a used car dealer and a homemaker, Ciccone and his older sister were raised in Huntington Station on Long Island. An auto enthusiast and filmmaking buff since an early age, Ciccone elected studying the latter upon entering college. Graduating in 1982 from SUNY at Stony Brook with a BA in Theatre Arts, Ciccone moved to Los Angeles. Following advice of his father so he was assured not to starve and also meet movie producers, Ciccone worked several years as a busboy at The Palm Restaurant in West Hollywood. It was during this period that he pursued a modestly successful acting career. Eventually proving his dad's advice correct, Ciccone received his first break in film production when Palm regular manager/film producer Larry Brezner hired him as a P.A. on the hit film, Throw Momma from the Train (1987) directe
